FAQs

Q: Is the ASICS Gel-NYC suitable for running?

A: While it incorporates GEL cushioning from running shoe lines, the Gel-NYC is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe, not a dedicated high-performance running shoe.

Q: How do I clean the mesh and leather upper?

A: For mesh and leather, use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the surface and air dry. Avoid immersing the shoes in water.

Q: What is the significance of the GEL system?

A: The GEL system is ASICS' signature cushioning technology. It's strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock during impact, providing superior comfort and reducing strain on your joints.

Q: Are these shoes true to size?

A: ASICS sizing is generally consistent, but fit can vary slightly between models and individuals. It's always recommended to check a size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit.

Q: Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

A: The leather and mesh upper provides some resistance, but they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided, especially for suede variants, to prevent damage and discomfort.

Q: What makes the design unique?

A: The Gel-NYC's unique design comes from its fusion of elements from several classic ASICS models: the upper combines features from the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and MC-PLUS V, while the sole unit is inspired by the GEL-CUMULUS 16. This creates a distinctive blend of heritage and modern aesthetics.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust lacing tension. Ensure you have the correct size; ASICS sizing can sometimes vary, so refer to a size guide or try on if possible.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by insoles shifting. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. If the squeak persists, it might be due to moisture; ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing.

Stains on leather/suede

Address stains promptly. For leather, use a specific leather cleaner. For suede, use a suede eraser or brush. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can spread the stain.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The GEL cushioning is durable, but prolonged heavy use can compress materials. Ensure you rotate your footwear. If discomfort persists, consider replacing insoles with fresh, supportive ones.

Care:

  • Cleaning Leather/Mesh: For general cleaning, wipe the mesh and leather panels with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning Suede (if applicable): For suede variants, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. Spot clean with a suede cleaner; do not get it excessively wet.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity.
  • Odour Prevention: Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to maintain freshness and shape.
